Tichu is a card game that is very rich in strategic depth and its nuances take a few thousand rounds – give or take – to master. It is probably fair to assume that being featured on the Brettspielwelt has been more beneficial to Tichu in terms of popularity than for any other game there, amassing an estimated gazillion rounds there on a daily basis. While most available version claims to be a classic Chinese game – and while it illustrates undeniable similarities to card games from the area – in its published form it was created in 1991 by Urs Hostettler, and has become what must be the flagship game of publisher Fata Morgana. Whatever category it falls into, it has certainly become a modern classic among card games. It is a shedding game on the one hand (think Uno), but it is a also trick-based with some influence of poker to go along. Tichu is a game that likes to defy categorization.
